Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held device fitted with a blocking device for preventing one portion from moving in translation relative to another portion as a function of the relative positions of those two portions considered in the gravity direction.
  • the invention relates particularly, but not necessarily, to writing instruments.
  • Hand-held devices are known presenting a first portion that is movable relative to a second portion, such as for example the rear portion carrying a mechanical pencil eraser that is movable relative to the front portion of the mechanical pencil.
  • the second portion e.g. when it is sought to use the eraser
  • the second portion remains movable relative to the first portion, which may lead the user to move the second portion relative to the first portion inadvertently, thus causing, for example, the lead of the mechanical pencil to be extended even though the eraser is being used.
  • Such operation is generally not desirable. There therefore exists a need in this sense.
  • An embodiment provides a hand-held device comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being engaged at least in part with the second portion while being movable in translation in an axial direction relative to the second portion (and vice versa), the first portion presenting a first distal end while the second portion presents a second distal end opposite from the first distal end in the axial direction, and a blocking device configured to prevent the first portion from moving in translation in the axial direction relative to the second portion (and vice versa) only when, considered in the gravity direction, the first distal end is arranged below the second distal end, the blocking device comprising a chamber and a ball or the equivalent housed in the chamber.
  • first portion may be engaged in the second portion or, vice versa, all or part of the second portion is engaged in the first portion.
  • the direction of engagement of the first portion with the second portion corresponds to the axial direction.
  • each part may be formed by a single part, or by a plurality of parts assembled together.
  • terms involving movement (e.g. movement in translation or sliding) of the first portion “relative” to the second portion naturally refers to “relative” movement of the first and second portions regardless of which portion(s) might be considered to be moving.
  • gravitation direction naturally refers to the direction of newtonian gravitational acceleration created by the Earth or, more generally by the body or celestial body on which the hand-held device is used.
  • ball or the equivalent refers to any solid element of any shape, that is movable in the chamber, and that is suitable for being moved in the chamber under the effect of gravity relative to the walls defining the cavity of the chamber.
  • the chamber may be of any shape, which may be simple or complex.
  • the blocking device authorizes the movement in translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion while the first distal end is above the second distal end, the blocking device blocks movement in translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion.
  • the relative position “above” or “below” the first and second distal ends is considered in the gravity direction.
  • the blocking device is a device that blocks by gravity.
  • the blocking device prevents movement in translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion automatically and only by means of the effects of gravity
  • the blocking device allows movement in translation in the axial direction of the first portion relative to the second portion automatically and only by means of the effects of gravity.
  • the hand-held device presents a first configuration in which the first portion may be moved in the axial direction relative to the second portion, for example, but not necessarily, in order to actuate any mechanism, e.g. a mechanism for retracting/extending a head into/out from a distal end selected from the first distal end and the second distal end, this first configuration corresponding to the configuration in which the first distal end is below the second distal end.
  • the hand-held device also presents a second configuration in which the first portion cannot be moved in the axial direction relative to the second portion by means of the blocking device, e.g. but not necessarily, in order to block said mechanism for retracting/extending the head, this configuration corresponding to the configuration in which the first distal end is above the second distal end.
  • blocking performed by the blocking device may be strict blocking without any axial clearance between the first and second portions, or blocking with some axial clearance between the first portion and the second portion, or indeed a limitation of the relative axial stroke between the first portion and the second portion (i.e. blocking with relatively large clearance).
  • the ball of the blocking device cooperates with the first portion and the second portion in such a manner as to block their relative movement in translation in the axial direction
  • the ball does not cooperate with the first portion and the second portion in such a manner as to block their relative movement in translation in the axial direction.
  • the ball in the first configuration, the ball is in a “free” position (i.e. a position in which the blocking device leaves the first portion free to move in axial translation relative to the second portion)
  • the ball in a “blocking” position (i.e. a position in which the blocking device blocks the first portion in axial translation relative to the second portion).
  • blocking is performed in the second configuration independently of how any other element/mechanism of the hand-held device might be configured.
  • the hand-held device presents a mechanism for extending/retracting a head out from/into a distal end selected from the first and second distal ends
  • the blocking device prevents the first portion from moving in translation relative to the second portion regardless of the position of said head, i.e. whether the head is in the retracted position or in the extended position (naturally, only when the first distal end is above the second distal end).
  • the head is formed by any hand-held device tool endpiece, e.g. the endpiece of a wrench, a screwdriver, a blade, a punch, a writing body (felt tip, ballpoint tip, or other tip, graphite pencil lead, chalk, or any other means making it possible to write on a substrate), a brush, an eraser, a friction body, a pad for a capacitive screen, a cosmetic applicator (makeup brush, pencil, mascara brush, roll-on applicator, lipstick, or any other means for applying cosmetics), etc.

  • the blocking device it is possible to avoid handling/activating (e.g. retracting/extending) a first head of the hand-held device when a second head is used that is opposite from the first head in the axial direction of the hand-held device (the first head naturally being activated by a relative movement in translation in the axial direction of a first portion relative to a second portion).
  • the structure of the blocking device presents the advantage of being compact, which increases the general compactness of the hand-held device, whereby the hand-held device may have dimensions that are adaptable to the hands of the majority of users.
  • the minimum distance between two walls defining a cavity of the chamber lies in the range 102% to 125% of the diameter of the ball (or of the greatest dimension of the ball when the “ball or the equivalent” is not spherical).
  • the walls define a cavity configured to receive the ball, the walls being suitable for forming part of a single element, but not necessarily.
  • the walls form part of two respective distinct elements and, when they are arranged facing each other, they define a cavity receiving the ball, said cavity forming at least a portion of the enclosure of the chamber.
  • the chamber is formed between two walls respectively forming parts of the first portion and of the second portion.
  • a first wall of the first portion forms a concave shape and/or a second wall of the second portion facing the first portion in at least one predetermined relative position (e.g. in the first configuration).
  • the chamber comprises this or these concave shape(s), all or part of the ball being housed in this or these concave shape(s).
  • Such a chamber structure has a compact structure, while enabling the ball to cooperate directly with the first portion and with the second portion.
  • a wall defining the volume of the chamber presents a receptacle configured to receive all or part of the ball when the first distal end is arranged above the second distal end, considered in the gravity direction.
  • the receptacle is a portion of a wall of the chamber in which all or part of the ball is housed when the first distal end is above the second distal end.
  • the receptacle holds the ball in position, whereby the blocking position of the ball is more stable and the blocking performed by the blocking device is more reliable.
  • the receptacle is formed by a passage extending in the axial direction from the chamber, said passage presenting a width that is smaller than the diameter of the ball or the equivalent.
  • the width of the passage lies in the range 50% to 90% of the diameter of the ball (or of the smallest dimension of the “ball or the equivalent” when said ball or the equivalent is not spherical).
  • the passage presents a portion that is larger than the ball and that leads directly to a narrower portion, this narrower portion presenting a width that is smaller than the diameter of the ball.
  • the passage is formed by an axial groove.
  • such a configuration makes it possible to combine two separate functions for a single element, for example the passage being able to serve both to guide an element and also to form a receptacle.
  • such a configuration makes it possible to block a sliding element in the passage.
  • the blocking device comprises an abutment configured to cooperate with the ball when the first distal end is arranged above the second distal end, considered in the gravity direction.
  • the receptacle is made in a wall forming part of a portion selected from the first portion and the second portion, whereas the abutment is secured to the other portion from among the first portion and the second portion.
  • Such a structure is particularly simple and compact, whereby the blocking device is robust and has little or no effect on the general compactness of the hand-held device.
  • the receptacle is arranged facing the abutment in the axial direction.
  • the ball enters the blocking position very easily and remains held in the blocking position by means of the receptacle, while being arranged facing the abutment in the axial direction, which makes it possible to reduce clearances as much as possible in the axial direction between the first portion and the second portion.
  • the abutment is configured to engage at least in part in the passage during the movement in translation of the first portion relative to the second portion.
  • the abutment and the passage are configured to cooperate in sliding, the abutment engaging in the passage.
  • the passage makes it possible to guide relative movements between the first portion and the second portion.
  • the axial space between the abutment and the inlet of the passage lies in the range 105% to 110% of the diameter of the ball (or of the largest dimension of the ball when the “ball or the equivalent” is not spherical).
  • the ball or the equivalent is metallic.
  • a metal ball presents a certain amount of inertia, which improves its retention in the blocking position.
  • the hand-held device forms a writing instrument extending in the axial direction.
  • first distal end and/or the second distal end is fitted with a writing tip, e.g. a retractable tip or a stationary tip, e.g. a mechanical pencil lead, a graphite lead, a ballpoint tip, a felt tip, etc.

  • Such a hand-held device fitted with the ball blocking device is particularly well adapted to writing instruments.
  • the first distal end is fitted with a writing tip, whereas the second distal end is fitted with an eraser, a friction body, or a pad for a capacitive screen.
  • the friction body is a body configured to be rubbed over a surface, for example in order to generate heat and to cause a thermochromic ink to change color, i.e. an ink that changes color as a function of the heat to which it is subjected.
  • a pad for a capacitive screen is a termination configured to interact with a capacitive screen.
